AI Summary
Satlyt’s software, designed to convert existing satellites into data‑processing networks, completed a successful test in early October after 13 months of development. The trial was conducted in partnership with the University of Houston on a NASA‑funded research project. Results demonstrated the system’s ability to distribute computing tasks among onboard computers while in orbit, adjusting assignments based on communication links and available processing power. The test marks a concrete step toward Satlyt’s goal of creating orbital data centers.
